A Very Suessy Birthday!

Well, better late than never! I am finally posted pictures from Beckett's big day! Kyle and I thought that a Dr. Seuss theme would be just perfect for our little man because it is fun and bright and whimsical (Kyle's words, not mine...Ha!) And because he reminds us of a precious little "who" straight out of Whoville with his big round eyes and sweet curls of hair around his face. We had fun preparing for little man's big day! It was a such a huge milestone, and we were so thankful to be able to celebrate with our family and friends! The day started out with Brant eagerly making "special" cupcakes for Beckett. He was so excited to make his little brother a pretend treat. Aren't those little hard-working hands precious?

Brant was more excited about Beckett's birthday than Beckett was! He ran into his room singing "Happy Birthday" that morning. Followed immediately by the statement that Beckett was now a big boy and could play with him. Then he asked, "So can Beckett walk now?" He also noticed that "Beckett is one now, but he is still pretty tiny." He is a very loving brother, and he is so eager to teach his little brother all kinds of new things!

The Birthday Boy!

I decided to attempt to get crafty for Beckett's party. It was actually a lot of fun. I made the banner from scrapbook paper and polka dot ribbons. We bought the Dr. Seuss book, Happy Birthday to You!, and had all the guests sign it for Beckett.

More craftiness...I made this door wreath from a cut-up Dr. Seuss board book. I had wanted to hang a B from the middle, but I ran out of time. :) I plan on adding that later, and hanging this on his door. You could really make one of these wreaths to fit nearly any child's party theme as long as you can find a fitting book. I plan on making one for Christmas. I'll let you know how it goes.

Brant loves cake!

Sweet Beckett!

Beckett absolutely loved his toy cake! Because he could not eat any real cake, I searched very hard to find this toy cake for him. It was perfect. His face lit up when he realized everyone in the room was singing to him. It was priceless.

It was a wonderful day. I am so very thankful for our little boy! Yay, ONE!!!

Thank you for all of your prayers for our sweet Beckett and our family over the past year. We are so thankful for them. We know God is at work in our lives. We know he has a perfect plan for Beckett and Brant and our family. As it says above Beckett's bed:

'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' Jeremiah 29:11

We trust in God's plan. Thanks for praying.
